Apexi WS2 Exhaust on 2006 Civic Si (FG2)

[chuvster]

Can someone please explain how to fix rev hang :(

[sugasugaki]

For future reference, can ppl tell me why they dislike the vid--it's cus it's shot in the dark? =P

[iCoNsrt]

Its call launch control thats why it wll only rev to 4-5k wit the clutch in

[ocazrebel]

sounds like you have that rev hang problem

[sugasugaki]

@ocazrebel Well I did have them reprogram the ECU from the TSB, but yeah it's still there. Can't get rid of it unless I get the ECU flashed.

[ocazrebel]

@sugasugaki doesn't the dealership still do that for free or not anymore?

[vietjack91]

@ocazrebel whats rev hang problem?

[xxnissansilviaxx]

i also hav another question...u kno wen people rev they motors and u hear it bounce off like 5500rpm and yes im talkiung about si engines thge k20z3 2.0...like i see it in alot of si videos with short rams and shit

[sugasugaki]

@xxnissansilviaxx the limiter is lower because they're stopped and in neutral.

[xxnissansilviaxx]

@sugasugaki why wud that be if u ppush the clutch in can u rev it higher?? like just ot rev it freely? 4 or 5k is lame

[ruunit]

@xxnissansilviaxx that's launch control. Happens on Si's even if they're stock. It only happens when you're stopped, and you can reprogram it if u have flashpro

[xxnissansilviaxx]

which is better rsx-s or this?

[sugasugaki]

@xxnissansilviaxx Kinda depends on what you mean by better. The Si has better rear suspension geometry, the RSX has slightly more horsepower (4 hp I think?). On the track the Si might edge out the RSX.

[xxnissansilviaxx]

@sugasugaki so for 4hp u think the rsx is faster? i love both cars but idk...more lux in the rsx for sure...never seen a leather si ahaha...no bose in a si but 350watts of si stereo...idk ne probs or comlaints bout ur car? nething that bugs u? be honest

[beast16a2]

do you have an aftermarket header during this video with this catback?????

[sugasugaki]

@beast16a2 When I made this vid, it was with a stock intake and header.

[tubegangsta]

I was waiting for a ninja to come out of the dark and jack the camera

[2R1V3R]

The muffler sounds close to the HFP muffler from the factory. Nice sound.

[sugasugaki]

Thanks! I was looking for a sound like the HFP. Didn't get the HFP because I wanted 60mm piping all around, and because I got a good deal on this catback.

[praetorian2150]

and its a great anti cop exhaust too :) race header time :)

[sugasugaki]

Well didn't get a race header but have the OEM FD2 CTR header now =P

[TechWithLukasz]

may i ask how much you got it for?

[sugasugaki]

I got it used for cheap (like $350-ish)

[xxnissansilviaxx]

@sugasugaki wat made u do that

[BlueRice]

how much was the deal? hook it up!

[iVTECboosted]

o ok i c now well im boosted now so it may help a lil

[iVTECboosted]

of course man i need to learn how to do that krap im not that good can u teach me lol

[sugasugaki]

It's not that hard once you get used to it. Just keep practicing.

Know when the redline is for each gear, so you don't overrev the engine. For example redline at 2nd gear is around 5500 RPM at 3rd, so you don't want to downshift at higher RPMs than that from third. The lower the RPMs, the less throttle blipping you need to do. So at 2K RPM you barely need to blip the throttle to rev match to a lower gear.

[iVTECboosted]

gotta like the rev match good stuff

[sugasugaki]

Oh wow, nobody noticed that before. Yeah, a little throttle blip there for the two downshifts. Nice catch =)

[cpwoods79]

LOL !!! This video is comical, looks like ur about to fall out of your seat. (woaaao, woaaahh.)

[esc4p3]

Nice car and the exhaust sounds great! Looks good as well and not too loud. I am looking to get this exhaust for my 98 prelude. I had a greddy power extreme a couple of years ago but I took it off because it was so damn loud!

[sugasugaki]

Appreciate the complement :-) Yeah anything louder than this and I think the drone on the freeway would get to me.

[grizzomg]

you must be the first to get the hondata reflash working with stage 2 cams, everyone else who has tried it hasn't been able to rev above 4500.

or you're lying

[iamElijah]

uhhh.. he wasn't even reving past 4500

[mobilesuitsteve03]

comptech ice box cold air intake, hy teck race header, sk2 stage 2 cam w/hondata and greddy sp exhaust...holy shit! it's worth the money when you have it, the header will be about 8bills though. i put this same set up on my 2008 si and i dyno it whitfield raceing in upland, ca and was able to pick up 45hp 233 to the wheels! havn't gotten a e.t. in 1/4 mile yet but i can smash on stock evo's and sti's by 2 to 3 cars. nice video man!

[sporkjsp]

smash on stock evos and stis? i highly doubt it maybe at a roll since k20s are better mid-high range rpms.. even stock stis/evos are putting out 260ish to the wheel..

if anything its a close-1 car race not 2-3

btw hondata reflash? or kpro? and i noticed you didnt mentiona anything aboout valve train upgrade or cam gear? can i say TCT ?

[sugasugaki]

Yeah I'm as optimistic about performance about my Si as any other, but I highly doubt I'd be able to beat an Evo by 2-3 cars (can always hope though) =P

Evo has the launch advantage w/ AWD. Plus it still probably makes more HP than the Si w/ the above mentioned mods.

[sporkjsp]

yeah lol..

i really want to get the ws2 since it looks like stock 05+ exhaust but i cant find any clips with it /w race headers =\ i guess ill just try it and be the first to post

[ehcivicracer]

the ws2 sounds stock. actually the stock sounds more low pitched.

[sugasugaki]

watch?v=UcLID-6rnsw

Trust me, the stock Si exhaust is higher-pitched.

[WeekendWarrior1210]

Hey man, what does WOT mean? Also, do you know what AFR means? Thanks! Nice Vid!

[sugasugaki]

WOT = Wide-open throttle. Basically flooring it

AFR = Air/fuel ratio.

[wingold45]

hey! i also have a civic si with the ws2 too but then it doens't sound like that, it sounds like stock!...do you have headers or something?..it sounds nices! let me know thanks!

[sugasugaki]

Heya, thanks for commenting. No header or intake, engine is bone stock.

[th3alm1ghty]

LOL love the video..it was awesome!

[smellyear]

Sounds pretty nice Boops, but couldn`t see much. Have you thought about getting it turbocharged or better yet, getting a supercharger. cat-less pipes are always nice too

[sugasugaki]

Yeah I prefer my keeping my car N/A for now. Cat-less pipes get you a hefty fine in California.

[smellyear]

yeah I just looked into it, up to 20,000USD. I said that cuz I just bought a free flow tube w? silencer. cuz here its all good. Not sure what its gonna do cuz I`ve read that at times it can take some valuable torque away. I`m actually thinkin bout selling my NA RB25DE for a GTR cuz U can get one now 4 under hyaku mann
